A member asked:
Good day. i was hoping to get some advice on piles. is there a medical procedure to remove or fix the piles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Piles: piles is another name for hemorrhoids. a general surgeon can take care of them in a couple of ways. However it would depend how significant in size they are. You might see your primary care physician first to make sure piles are what you have; and either treat you or send you to the correct specialist
